I keep saying that I'll have my degree at the end of whatever semester that I'm currently in. I keep saying that I'll eventually go vegetarian again and then go raw vegan. I keep saying that I'm going to exercise like it's my new favorite hobby. I keep saying that I'm going to be healthy and rid my body of these illnesses. I keep saying stuff... but not following through.
I understand that I am chronically ill but I still want to have a great quality of life and not be dependent on my parents for everything. They are getting older. That's my reality.
So, what have I decided to do? Take action. It'll be a process. A long process.
So, what's wrong with my body?
1. I'm 100 pounds overweight. Ouch.
2. I hardly have any energy.
3. I have Hidradenitis Suppurativa. (painful boils all over my body- I used to think I was a leper)
4. I have Crohn's Disease. (Everytime I eat healthy food, I get super sick)
5. I have some gynecological issue that they can't figure out. (My mother had endometriosis but my doctors can't see anything wrong)
6. I am a diabetic. (I'm on insulin)
What is Brittanie-Claire going to do?
1. Transition off of prescription medication and use vitamins, minerals & herbs.
2. Cut out processed food. This will definitely take time. I like food.
3. Cut out meat and dairy. I'm cutting out red meat and dairy immediately. I think I'm allergic to cows.
4. Exercise. Every single day. No excuses.
5. Get right with my Father. I've been slipping this year. It's been hard because I've been stuck in this season. I haven't been able to attend church. It's rough.
6. Push. I go through a flare and I get lazy. I prioritize wrong. I feel like when I feel well I should have fun and not do work. It's depressing.
This will all take time. I give myself a few years to get this together. I've been sick since 2006... It'll take time to become a healthy and independent person.
Pray for me.
